Narcissus Unbound

The hosts analyze Freud's essay on narcissism, discussing topics such as the tentative nature of the critique, the significance of castration in Freudian theory, narcissism in early development, internalized object of desire, Lydian and Athenian erotic relationships, becoming a woman, the role of children in narcissistic desire, father-daughter relationship, and the interplay between self-regard and narcissistic libido. They end with a mysterious statement about a murder and the vanishing point of reality.
